The success and safety of your breast reduction procedure depends
very much on your complete candidness during your consultation. You’ll
be asked a number of questions about your health, desires and
lifestyle. Be prepared to discuss the following:

Why you want the surgery, your expectations and desired outcome

Medical conditions, drug allergies and medical treatments

Use of current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drugs

Previous surgeries

Family history of breast cancer and results of any mammograms or previous biopsies

What Happens During Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction is usually performed through incisions on your
breasts with surgical removal of the excess fat, glandular tissue and
skin. In some cases, excess fat may be removed through liposuction in
conjunction with excision techniques. If breast size is largely due to
fatty tissue and excess skin is not a factor, liposuction alone may be
used for breast reduction. The technique used to reduce the size of your
breasts will be determined by your individual condition, breast
composition, amount of reduction desired, your personal preferences and
the surgeon’s advice.

Anesthesia

Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical
procedure. The choices include intravenous sedation and general
anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best choice for you.

Breast Reduction Incision

Incision options include:

A circular pattern around the areola

A keyhole or racquet-shaped pattern with an incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease

An inverted T or anchor-shaped incision pattern

Removing tissue and repositioning

After the incision is made, the nipple, which remains tethered to its original blood and nerve supply, is then repositioned. The areola is reduced by excising skin at the perimeter, if necessary.

Underlying breast tissue is reduced, lifted and shaped. Occasionally, for extremely large pendulous breasts, the nipple and areola may need to be removed and transplanted to a higher position on the breast (free nipple graft).

Closing the Incisions

The incisions are brought together to reshape the now smaller breast.
Sutures are layered deep within the breast tissue to create and support
the newly shaped breasts; sutures, skin adhesives and/or surgical tape
close the skin. Incision lines are permanent, but in most cases will
fade and significantly improve over time.

Breast Reduction Results

The results of your breast reduction surgery are immediately visible.
Over time, post-surgical swelling will resolve and incision lines will
fade. Satisfaction with your new image should continue to grow as you
recover.
